Secrets:
1) 00:10 one of the first steps counts as secret
2) 01:42 the final room with the exit switch is marked secret

2h for a 03:29 and 4h for the first record 03:25. stx-vile's 03:26 was already awesome, but in a perfectly smooth run I could spot a few places where to cut couple seconds. So I kept trying till I had a very good second half run, and even if there are some mistakes and I lost time in the early part, I couldnt get closer to the time again easily. This kinda bugs me, because I know I lost 6-8s compared to my other intermission, and I dont know exactly what went particularly well this time. I think I had just a way better infighting in the main room, so that I could wipe all the rest quickly. It happens rather often that some monsters are particularly slow to teleport in, if you dont gank some of them with rockets in the MM area like I decided to do. Also, the big AV pack can be a real mess sometimes, if you arent moving fast enough to a corner... so far, for one of my "dream demos" I'm rather happy, as this came before I expected, in less than 1 day.
First of all you should be sure to trigger the first secret on one of the first steps of the ladder in front of the start (I hate such secrets which can be skipped very easily), and then its a run through massive hordes of monsters you aren't well prepared to face yet. Busting your way in the core of the level, you start picking up better weapons, and then you can demand your revenge on everything left behind earlier on. I decided to get the knights guarding the backpack as soon as possible, as they often help clearing all imps, differently from vile's demo, but that one of the few changes. Also, the first rush in the imps with the invulnerability sphere can be troublematic, getting caged is normal.. just twice in more than 150 attempts, I could sneak past ALL imps, gaining 5-6s right at beginning eheh. In the MM area I pick up a megasphere and shoot few rockets and then leave all the monsters to be blasted with BFG. This is rather risky, since you MUST clear the 2 cybers later on and exit that area with high health and armour to face the mess. Also, some decent infight is rare on that room... and you may pray no enemies slow their teleporting and ruin the run (occurred 2-3 times). I can't really say which was the hardest part of the level, because to get 03:2x you need already plenty of things going the way you wish. You should not be caged by too many imps at beginning, you should hope monsters teleports in fast (if you kill with rockets on the MM area you'll always have no problems), you should clear fast the 2 cybers and then you should hope the group of AV dont screw everything pushing you randomly... or that they dont move closer to you and therefore get slained faster by the BFG hits. I've at least 6 more dream demos in my schedule... I hope I'll be able to improve those great times before anger consumes me :P

update 25/12/12: also done with second dream demo... but the improvement is only 1s so ill keep working on it.
